Loov agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Helsinki Jokerit of the KHL on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Loov was brought over by the Wild from the Devils in exchange for a pair of forwards in order to bolster Minnesota's blue line depth and while the 25-year-old did earn a couple call-ups, he was never able to crack the lineup. Instead, the Swede played 60 games in the minors this year -- split between Iowa and Binghamton -- in which he tallied five goals and 19 assists. Without an NHL contract in hand, the 2012 seventh-round pick will look to revitalize his career in the KHL.

Loov just appeared in the minors during 2017-18, but recorded a combined 24 points (five goals, 19 assists) in 60 games with AHL Binghampton and AHL Iowa.

EDGE Analysis

During the season Loov was constantly on the move, as after starting the season with New Jersey, he was shortly bumped down to the minors before being traded Feb. 8 to Minnesota, where he served as an emergency defensemen before bumping down to the minors once again. The Swede will be a restricted free agent, and since he's been playing in the minors for four seasons now, a two-way contract seems the most likely option -- although if he stays in the Twin Cities he'll likely need to continue growing his game before he can draw into a deep Minnesota blue line.

Loov was sent down to AHL Iowa on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Swede wasn't able to receive any ice time during his first stint in Minnesota, and will head to the minors as a result of Nick Seeler earning a promotion. Loov has posted 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 36 games this season in the AHL, but with Minnesota boasting a deep defensive core, it'll be tough for him to find playing time with the big club.

Loov was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Loov was just traded to Minnesota on Thursday, so he didn't even suit up for Iowa. Instead, the 25-year-old defenseman accrued five goals, 17 points and 45 PIM through 36 games with AHL Binghamton. His services are needed immediately with the big club to provide depth while Jonas Brodin nurses a broken hand. Regardless, don't expect Loov to rack up enough playing time to become a consistent fantasy performer.

The Wild acquired Loov from the Devils in exchange for forwards Christoph Bertschy and Mario Lucia on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Devils GM Ray Shero should be very excited about this deal. He flipped Loov -- a guy the team waived ahead of the season -- for Lucia, who was a 2011 second-round pick, as well as Bertschy, a 23-year-old Swiss skater who should be a popular AHL call-up when injuries threaten the team up front. This transaction doesn't mean a whole lot from a fantasy perspective, but it helps New Jersey shore up its depth as the team bids for a playoff spot within an extremely competitive Metropolitan Division.

Loov was placed on waivers by the Devils on Saturday, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey made a trade with Toronto for Loov ahead of last season's trade deadline and then got him under a two-way contract for one year with a base salary set at $650,000. Assuming he clears waivers, except him to wind up with AHL Albany to start the 2017-18 season.

Loov signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $650,000 with the Devils on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Since being traded from the Maple Leafs organization midseason, Loov spent the entire rest of the campaign with AHL Albany where he managed no points, six penalty minutes, and a minus-six rating in 10 contests. The 24-year-old could probably use a bit more seasoning before he's ready for NHL action, so it wouldn't be unrealistic to see in the minors at the beginning of the 2017-18 season.

Loov was dealt to New Jersey on Saturday, with Toronto receiving recently waived forward Sergey Kalinin, The Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both players involved in this swap are considered organizational depth options at this juncture. Expect Loov to start out in the minors, with a call-up possible if Kyle Quincey (upper body) happens to experience a setback in his rehab. Loov is an imposing Swedish blueliner -- - plenty of his countrymen have thrived in the NHL (here's looking at you, Victor Hedman) -- but he's quite raw and in the infancy of his career. Still, keep Loov in mind for future fantasy seasons.

Loov (undisclosed) was sent to AHL Toronto on Monday, James Mirtle of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loov hasn't been on the ice since Feb. 25 while dealing with an undisclosed injury. His assignment to the Marlies is likely for conditioning, which means his return to NHL action could be in the near future if his AHL stint goes accordingly.

Loov (undisclosed) has been ruled out against the Lightning on Tuesday, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Loov, who was an emergency recall himself, will miss his second game with an injury himself. In spite of playing in a meager four outings in the NHL this season, the defenseman did snag a pair of assists in those contests. At this point, the Maple Leafs have given up on this season and are unlikely to rush the 23-year-old back any time soon.
